Briscoe and Magraff Leuluai on two year deals.

i hope thats saun not tom briscoe , good news obviously briscoe is a good english super league standard fullback with experience ect and a good addition for the vikings. not seen much of magraff is he a club trained player?, how old is he? and how good is he and do people think he can play at super league standard?

Delighted with Briscoe.Experienced, safe and confident.No disrespect to the young guns who have appeared at full back for us lately,Hulme,Owens and Craven,but a team with a short arrs in that position will be shown no mercy in SL.None too sure about Leuluai.Runs hard but seems a little lightweight.Perhaps he will bulk up a bit in the closed season.

I think Magraff needs to bulk up alot. Full time environment will obviously aid this.

I wasnt expecting much from him when he arrived from Leigh but I think he has gone quite well to date after losing his place early on in the year.

A solid player in the backrow more than anything who can hopefully take his stability upto SL in his performances.

Magraff has got bags of potential and has all the ingredients to become a quality player, he just needs the coaching and patience in the right places.

briscoe is a very good player to have to pass on experience, guidence all that for the younger players and from what ive seen and read the young players listed have all got bright futures in the game but most probable no were near super league yet. with full time training ect leuluai could easily put some bulk on and get to super league standard physically

Very good question!

I am made up though. Always rated Briscoe and leuluai has been one of our stand outs as of late.

Briscoe is an excellent signing for you. Really, really good pro and still a very good full back. Absolutely no downside.

Good feedback, I don't think there will be a Viking unhappy with this signing, good quality player who knows Super League very well.
